Good morning, Pickaway County. The countdown is on with just one week until Election Day, and local voters are facing a slate of critical decisions on everything from school boards to zoo funding. Early voting continues through Sunday, offering plenty of options to make your voice heard before the November 4 deadline. Meanwhile, coffee enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as the long-rumored Dunkin' Donuts is finally becoming reality inside Circleville's Walmart, bringing those signature brews and treats to shoppers later this month.
A sobering reminder about road safety comes after a three-vehicle collision on Tarlton Road sent a mother and her two children to the hospital earlier this week. The chain-reaction crash occurred when one driver failed to maintain control, resulting in a head-on collision that required medical airlifts for the most seriously injured. As we head into the busy holiday travel season, this incident underscores the importance of staying alert behind the wheel.

🚗 Three-car crash sends mother and children to hospital. A chain-reaction collision on Tarlton Road in Pickaway Township left one driver seriously injured and two children hurt on October 27.
